* Can someone explain to me why they needed Nick's blood for that Grimm-Wesen-Hexenbiest concoction? Trubel was guarding that place anyway. So why didn't they just ask her for a donation? (I get that Nick needed to accidentally lead Z there, but they'd pretty much agreed that Nick needed to stay away from the kids because that would be safer for them?)
To me, that whole scenario with his mother and aunt in the fight. They were all in Nick's mind to motivate and overwhelm the "Z" guy. remember Trubel never saw them, only Nick. Only Nick imagined them. Maybe they did come back but as ghosts in his mind.
Quote:* Have you tried imagening the alternate timeline if everyone of the Grimm team was still dead except for Nick, Trubel and the kids?
That ending would have sucked and reduced the chances of a series come back/renewal possibilities?
Quote:* Did anyone note that Nick seems extremely upset about Monroe's death, but when he makes it back and finds everyone alive, Monroe is the only one (except Renard, but really, no surprise there) that he doesn't greet with an overjoyed "omg, you're alive" hug?
Just a few ideas. Monroe was just too macho? They had to separate him from the rest so he could point out the staff that came trough? His hug ended up on the cutting room floor?
Quote:* I'm impressed that Kelly made it to adulthood. I was so sure that one day they'd just forget where they placed his little safety seat this time.
IMO, That whole ending scene of Kelly writing in the book was an opportunity for the writers to, "maybe" close up some loop-holes left hanging because the season was shortened from 22 episodes to 13 and ended up creating more.
Quote:* While I appreciate that the show is called Grimm and it was a nice touch to bring back Kelly, Marie & Trubel... wouldn't it have been a nicer ending to a show that seemed so focused on trying to bring different characters together into a family-like structure (despite that sometimes requiring a fair amount of suspension of disbelief) to actually give everyone a meaningful part to play in the final showdown? Couldn't Z have brought some friends (or minions) for the other characters to handle? Just so they could've achieved something before they needed to die for the whole "you can have them back if you give me the stick" deal to work?
For me, that whole "Z" guy arc was not too impressive either. I chalk it off to, 13 episodes instead of 22 episode, contributing to the, sort of abrupt ending.
Quote:* Imagine Z's dismay if the Grimm team hadn't acquired enough keys to locate and free the stick & make the prophecy come true. (He could have ruled his own little reality a little longer. But that must've become dull if he really wanted to fix the rod? Also... gotta love the irony of a guy named Destroyer wanting to *fix* something.)
To me, that last stick part of the staff was the final ingredient that preferred the staff to be wielded by good (Grimm) over evil ("Z" guy, the ayatollah of Wesen) and once it was fully reassembled it backfired on "Z" and "evil".
Now, for this statement, I will probably get some criticism since some wacko-dodos see most Wesen as "good-guys victims" instead of evil predators. In that last sentence, did i mention 'most Wesen' not all of them!
Quote:* Is the rod basically Grimm's version of the Harry-Potter Elder Wand?
As in, if you defeat its master, you're the new owner? - But if that's the case, why did Z need to do that devil's deal where he couldn't take the stick by force if it used to be a part of the rod? (And did he seriously assemble that rod by doing devil's deals with everyone else who'd managed to get a piece of the rod? Really, being a prince of darkness must be exhausting.)
Maybe like in real life, sometimes what we imagine is better than reality.
Quote:I think I'll leave it at that for now. So many other topics to post about.
